|
|
| 42:55 | Laurent Koscienly (Arsenal) | Sung-Yeung Ki (Swansea) | Ki went down in the box after a tackle from Koscienly who pulled out of it. Only in the 3rd replay shown it was clear and conclusive that Ki went down without any foul contact (dived) after Koscienly clearly had pulled his leg back.
Given that the incident occurred quiet far away from the referee and the view of contact/non-contact was blocked some players ahead, it was an excellent decision. (Bonus points awarded)

Mike Jones was the ref.
Looking back at the review it looks as if Jones has a soft spot for Dyer as his name was mostly involved in his errors for some strange reason.
Dyer made a bit of a reckless challenge on Monreal and should have been given a yellow card after some 5 minutes. But nothing given. Then Ramsey kicked the ball away in front of Dyer who then tripped over the foot that Ramsey played the ball with but the ref gave a foul in favour of Dyer. And around the half hour mark Dyer again made reckless challenge on Monreal that should have earned him another yellow card and that would have been his second. but nothing given.
In between the ref missed a foul off the ball when Naughton pulled down Alexis when Arsenal was doing a counter attack but he missed it and missed the yellow card that should have been given.
The moment of the match from the ref his point of view was the non-penalty decision he had to make. Ki went down in the Arsenal penalty area. It looked like a foul but if you look at the third clip you can see that Koscielny pulled his leg back and didn’t touch Ki with his swinging leg. So it was Ki who used Koscielny’s other leg to trip himself. A foul against Ki and a yellow card on top of it. Given the position and the number of players around the incident this was one hell of a decision to make!
Score in the first half = 73.9% and 66.6% (Weighted) Below average.
Moving on to the second half. And I really do think that ref Jones was so delighted with his excellent spot in the penalty decision that he decided to make no more errors in this match.
Yes we could not find any error anymore from the ref! Of course the way the match went and Arsenal scoring a second goal and a third one was the signal for Swansea to more or less give up in this match. But still a ref has to remain focussed to see the fouls and call them.
The Second Half Score: 100% and 100% (Weighted) Perfect!
Over the 90 minutes the score was: 84.6% and 80.3% (Weighted) Very good.
There was 1 correct major decision of the non-penalty of Ki Diving against Arsenal in the box.
There was 1 wrong major decision, when no second yellow card was shown against Dyer for committing for 2 reckless fouls. But looking back at the whole match we can forgive him this easily.

Overall, sounds a pretty good performance from the ref.
Brave, and good decision on the Ki dive…..just a shame other refs in our games this season have not been so courageous.
No doubt Mike Riley will give this ref a stern ticking off after this performance.
Another excellent review.
I fear for Jones – 4th division next week?
I think that this is the first time ever that a ref improved his score in the second half. Any merit in the thought that refs should do one half only and then swap places with the 4th official? The 4th is like the tits on a bull (unless he happens to be Taylor!) so it might be an improvement. Thoughts?
@bjtgooner.
No no….Fear for 4th division, it’s Jones next week!!!!!
We were out of the title race and see… the refs suddenly improve. We go back to second place if we win against Burnley and look…. the ref is bad and extremely biased…. nah, will be a coincidence I think….
According to the Neil Ashton Bullshit Weekly on Sky this morning, Chelsea only have to beat Liverpool midweek and the title race is over.
So, we are not even in it, Walter 😉
Fair play to Wenger for doing his job through this shite. He will know exactly what goes on , yet soldiers on regardless.
thats always the pattern, when Arsenal threaten, as they did by beating Chelsea 3-0, there is an intervention, but it seems we are allowed to get on with finishing between 2nd and 4th…..perhaps buying the silence of some, if not our manager.
What Walter says is true – but I’m still very excited to see such a good referee performance. So rare!
There was an interesting article in the telegraph which described how refs are judged by a remote panel. It mentioned some 300 decisions per game (if memory serves me right) which would explain the very high correctness score. It does not say which decisions are included but it sounds like a lot. Includes correct throw ins, every foul\non foul situation, obvious not offside etc etc.
Apologies for not having a link but I can’t find it. I did put the paper itself to one side but suspect it now forms guinea pig bedding. Perhaps someone who will admit to reading the telegraph can provide a link to this article – it seems to give a really good insight to how refs are monitored.
As an aside how many red cards we agree with were rescinded by the FA? Does this curtail the willingness to card?
42:55 Laurent Koscienly (Arsenal) Sung-Yeung Ki (Swansea) Very close, he was tripped a little but was already falling anyway. Could have gone differently with another ref.
Atkinson, Dean, Clattenburg, Taylor, and Moss would have definitely given a penalty, with at least a yellow card for Laurent.
OT: Corruption News
In my occasional searches for news on the football corruption front, I can’t say I’ve ever run across the New Times from Rwanda before. Anyway, they are in the news with a story, and I don’t see evidence that this story is being carried any where else.
How I read it (at least in part), is that efforts to bring in technology (goal line, video, …) are in part a conspiracy to keep third world nations from being successful in either having their own professional football league, or in competing against other nations for the World Cup.
Which is a unique point of view. If their only source of income is a grant from FIFA, and the only sources for this technology are companies in rich, “western” countries; it is easily possible that the cost of implementing such systems is beyond their means.
http://www.newtimes.co.rw/section/article/2017-01-28/207500/
In any event, another feeling I get from the article, is that corruption is still alive and well at FIFA.
